Meet the Family Behind Rome's Finest Food Tours
Serving the Eternal City since 2008. Discover the local experts and food-obsessed Romans who make every tour an unforgettable journey.
Providing the Best Food Tours in Rome since 2008
Since 2008, we’ve had one simple mission: to show you the Rome that tourists usually miss. We aren't a global travel corporation; we are a collective of Romans who live for a perfectly aged Pecorino, a crisp glass of Frascati, and the stories told over a shared table.
For nearly two decades, we’ve been weaving through the backstreets of the Eternal City, building relationships with the artisan bakers, the third-generation butchers, and the market stall owners who are the true heartbeat of our city. When you walk with us, you’re not just a tourist—you’re our guest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since 2008, we’ve welcomed thousands of guests to our table. Here are the answers to the most common questions about our team of culinary experts and our local philosophy.
-
Are you a local company or a global agency?
Born and Bred in Rome: We are 100% locally owned and operated. Unlike large international booking platforms, we live here, eat here, and have been part of the Roman community since 2008. When you book with us, your money stays in the local economy and supports the neighborhood artisans we visit.
-
Why have you been operating since 2008?
A Legacy of Trust: We were one of the first dedicated food tour companies in the Eternal City. Our longevity is built on consistency and relationships. Because we’ve been around for nearly two decades, we have access to "hidden" family kitchens and market stalls that don't open their doors to just any tour group.
-
Who are the guides?
The Roman Collective: Our guides aren't just seasonal workers; they are historians (like Bruno), sommeliers, and lifelong foodies. Every member of our team is hand-picked for their deep knowledge of Roman culture and their ability to make you feel like a friend, not just a customer.
-
What is your "Food Philosophy"?
Authenticity Above All: We have a strict "No Tourist Menu" policy. We only take you to places where we would take our own families. We prioritize seasonal ingredients, traditional Roman recipes, and small-scale producers who honor the "slow food" movement.
-
Do you offer tours outside of Rome?
Rome and Beyond: While our heart is in the Eternal City, our passion for Italian cuisine has led us to curate a Selected Collection of experiences in Florence, Venice, Naples, and Milan. Every "Beyond" destination follows the same rigorous local standards as our original Rome walks.
